Intracellular inactivation of bacteriophage T4 early deoxyribonucleic acid.
نویسنده
چکیده
As previously shown, a small amount of polynucleotide material is added to parental T4 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules within the first 5 min of infection. I have asked whether this process is essential for phage replication. Two approaches-one involving decay of (32)P incorporated into this "early DNA" and the other involving photoinactivation of bromodeoxyuridine-containing early DNA-indicate that it is.

Polyamines and the delay in deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in some bacteriophage T4 infections.
Escherichia coli B infected by the DD mutant of T4, am N116, is stimulated to initiate deoxyribonucleic acid accumulation by 1 to 10 mm spermidine but not by 10 mm putrescine. The syntheses of putrescine and spermidine in cells infected by T4D and the mutant are similar, although slight differences are observed in the intracellular concentration of free spermidine. Unlike r-K12 (lambda) systems...
متن کاملSuperinfection with bacteriophage T4: inverse relationship between genetic exclusion and membrane association of deoxyribonucleic acid of secondary bacteriophage.
The majority of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of superinfecting T4 bacteriophage which is injected and not hydrolyzed does not attach to host cell membrane. Low levels of association of secondary phage DNA with membrane appear to be related to temporal genetic exclusion.

Exposure of Escherichia coli cells to myxin results in the almost complete in'hibition of new deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, extensive degradation of pre-existing intracellular DNA, and a rapid loss of viability in these cells (9). After exposure to myxin for 30 min (<1% survivors and >25% degradation of DNA), infection of these cells by T4 bacteriophage results in the renewal of DNA sy...
متن کاملThe Initiation of T4 Deoxyribonucleic Acid-dependent fi=Glucosyltransferase Synthesis in Vitro*
Bacteriophage T4 DNA was used in vifro as a template for RNA and protein synthesis with ribosomes and supernatant enzymes prepared from uninfected Escherichia coli. Protein synthesis in this system was previously shown to result in synthesis de novo of an enzymatically active /3-glucosyltransferase, an early TI-specific protein not detectable in uninfected cells. E. coli cells treated with trim...
